I'm using a function as the dataType so that I can integrate with .NET Web Services.

This works fine and displays data, and the paging functions work, but the Search and Refresh buttons are missing from the pager. None of the examples specifically show how to make it display (yet it shows up on the page), so I figured it was shown by default. But it's not there on my grid.

I can't figure out how to make it display. I tried doing:

jQuery(“#grid”).navGrid(“#pager”, { search: true });

But that doesn't work (shows a strange dialog and gives a JavaScript error).

Here's the simplified JS of my grid:

Hello,

Do you have included grid.formedit.js in head section or in the loader?

Regards

Hi Tony,

Thanks for the response.

I do have this line in the jquery.jqGrid.js under modules:

I can't get a custom button added either. When I try, a dialog box shows up below the grid that says:

Warning
Please, select row

The dialog box is not draggable, not closeable, but it indicates both (move cursor and close button). There's also a JS error. Here it is from Firebug:

jQuery(a).jqDrag is not a function http://localhost:1598/MyData/jqGrid/js/min/grid.common-min.js Line 6

Could this be a timing issue between the grid doing all its initialization tasks and the first data request (since I'm using function datatype instead of json)?

Using google, I found from a comment on a release post that I needed to include jqDnR.js and jqModal.js. Including those two made the stock button show up (Refresh, Search, etc.), as well as the custom button that I had added.

I didn't realize that DnR and Modal were required for that functionality. I also looked for them in jquery.jqGrid.js, but they were not listed as modules.

I still have that pesky Warning box but I'll see what I can find out about that.

Hello,

It is a good idea first to start with docs from beginning. All is described here.

Tony,

I finally found where it indirectly says these files are required for buttons in the documentation.

First, there's the Navigating page, which says:

To use this feature we need to enable form editing. For more information refer to Installation.

Then Installation says:
- grid.formedit.js

Hello,

Thanks for the recommendation. As I say writting professional documentation is not so easy. We will try to make it better.

Tony,

I completely agree. I'm sure you didn't know what you were signing up for when you first posted jqGrid for others to use. 🙂

I think you've been doing a great job, especially for working in your “spare time”. It's probably more like a second full-time job you don't get paid for.

By the way, I'm working on a new search form for jqGrid where you can add multiple parameters. I don't know if you'd be interested in it, but I'd be pleased to offer it for integration into jqGrid releases, when it's finished.
